Our Best Photos from Africa 2010-2014

[Ardent]

Art invited me to post photos some time, this is the easiest format for my Africa stuff, I put together this slide show. I'll do a Northern Canada / subarctic compilation down the road as well. This is all scenery, I'll have to add hunting specific ones to the thread individually.

Be sure to select the high quality / 1080p from the bottom right hand options, or a lot of the good stuff will be lost.

Northern Canada:

Work.



Elk and Sheep.




Wolverine and Lynx



Timberwolves (our bills are a smidge larger than US ones for scale)






Ma Grizzly and little ones that showed up to Elk calls.



Lynx skull.



Nine people and a giraffe in a Land Cruiser,




A bit macabre but fascinating, a Baboon's hand in Zimbabwe, it was literally tearing up the camp in a frenzy.

Africa is tough on feet.





My first African game animal, Impala roast.



Sheep hunting Mauna Kea at 10,000' with a .375.

My dad wanted a baboon to mount but couldn't hit one at long range so the guide took my dad's .30-06 and shot one through the face at 600+ yards. He brought it down (eventually) and the face was too messed up to mount so my dad had ash trays made out of the baboon's hands.
Those are some nasty-looking critters up close.

I always wanted to know how to fit a giraffe in a sub-compact.

Cool pictures. Hopefully I'll get to someday.

Thanks for sharing Ardent, great photos.
Glad you are living the dream that most of us wish for.
Enjoy it some for us Joe Schmos too.

No schmos here just good people- if you like outdoors, hunting, and shooting you're living the life too. We're blessed to be able to enjoy the great outdoors in all ways we do, be that a hog hunt with family or a fishing trip with friends, or Africa. Thanks for the kind words!
